Hugo the current session of the Montana Legislative Aronson, center foreground, is shown as he Assembly. presented his State of the State message to ASTHMA RESEARCH—The selfless generosity of Montana State University alumna Stella Duncan Johnstone, a victim of bronchial asthma, may furnish one of the keys to the eventual relief of asthma sufferers. Here, Dr. A. F. Pereira, Ahmedebad, India, is working at the University at Missoula as a Stella Dun- can Fellow investigating the pathological changes that occur in mice after induced allergic reactions. Dr. Pereia holds a master's degree in pathology from Northwestern University, and he received his medical degree in India. His research is financed by the memorial fund created by Stella Duncan's bequest to the University of the major portion of her estate to support basic research into the causes of bronchial asthma and allergy. The donor, who was born in Glendive and spent her early years in Kalispell, was a member of the MSU class of 1907. She died in California in 1948. Dr. John J. Munoz, chairman of the Bacteriology Dept., is director of Stella Duncan Memorial Fund Research at MSU. RETAIL BUYING STAYS STRONG IN COUNTY NEW YORK—To what extent did the recent recession affect the buying habits of Sanders county residents? How much did they spend for food, for clothing and for other staples? How much for cars? Latest market data shows that while there was a considerable shift in buying habits, the total volume of business at the retail level exceeded most predictions. The average consumer, es- sentially a middle-of-the-roader, had become a little wary by the summer of 1957. He had heard a lot of talk about over -expan- sion, readjustment and possible recession. He realized, at the same time, that he was carrying a heavy load of debt. So he de- cided to apply the brakes and wait -see. The immediate result, for re- tail business, was a decline in sales of automobiles and of oth- er heavy equpiment, since these were items consumers usually bought on credit. Later, however, once he found that his income was fairly secure, he resumed his spend- ing, but more selectively. Food stores in Sanders coun- ty, as a consequence, had a $78- 6,000 volume in the past fiscal year, compared with $720,000 in fiscal 1957. Included in this cat- egory were stores selling food of all kinds for home consump- tion. This outlay for food repre- sented 13 per cent of every dollar spent in the local retail stores. Automotive stores, consisting of those selling cars and acces- sories, boats and traijers, but not truck and other motorized industrial equpiment, had a $947,000 volume, compared with $977,000 the prior year. It am- ounted to 16 per cent of the re- tail dollar. General merchandise stores did $1,707,00 as against $1,657,000 in fiscal 1957, taking 28 per cent of the dollar. The figures are from the cur- rent Consumer Market Data study of the Standard Rate and Data Service, covering every county in the United States. They show that the nation's consumers, despite the reces- sion and despite unemployment, spent over $200 million for mer- chandise in the year. Other Viewpoints -- Budget Authority Yellowstone News The suggestion that the state of Montana needs to take a new approach to its budgeting sys- tem is a worthwhile one. The idea of giving the governor, as chief executive of the State of Montana, the primary responsi- bility for budgeting is one which we can easily accept in view of the fact that the past few years a very loose approach has been made to our budget problem. This year, when our total tax structure is capable of produc- ing $64 million of revenue, to develop a budget in excess of $105 million is absurd on the surface. Time has come for the legis- lature to take some very positive action and to make the chief executive of our state responsi- ble for sensible budgeting. In doing this, however, the legislature should give the gov- ernor sufficient power to accom- plish this job and, in addition, should give him an adequate staff to do the job right. Just passing the buck to the gover- nor is not the answer. One stumbling block to effec- tive budget control lies in the fact that our state board of ex- aminers has the constitutional power to examine and pass up- on all claims. This power means that this allpowerful board can authorize a deficiency or supple- mental expenditures by a state department. It can do this even though no funds are available, and it can be done even though the legislature did not appro- priate money for it or authorize such an expenditure. In other words, the board of examiners, presently controlled by a Democrat attorney general and a Democrat secretary of state, can, in effect, usurp the appropriating power of the leg- islature in spite of what the Re- publican governor might ad- vocate. Obviously, if they ap- prove deficiency spending, the legislature must make it good or the state's credit and good name is marred. Thus, the leg- islature becomes a rubber stamp for the board of examiners on such occasions. This procedure should not be allowed to continue if the gover- nor is given budgeting responsi- bility. The governor should be permitted to appoint a budget director and no deficiency or supplemental expenditure of state funds should be approved by the state board of examiners unless it first has the approval of the budget director. Legislative efforts such as this would not only give the governor the responsibility, but it would also give him sufficient power for effective budgeting. The taxpayers of Montana would become the beneficiaries.
